Activated Carbon

Overview of Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is an essential filtration media extensively used in water treatment processes, including drinking water, groundwater, service water, and wastewater treatment. It primarily adsorbs dissolved organic impurities, which helps remove substances that cause unpleasant odors, tastes, and colors. Furthermore, it effectively eliminates halogenated hydrocarbons and a variety of organic pollutants, ensuring safer, cleaner water. Its versatility makes it invaluable for both municipal and industrial water purification systems.

Key Features and Specifications

Our activated carbon is granular with a mesh size of 4×8, offering an ideal balance between surface area and flow rate. It has a high iodine value of 600 IV, which reflects its excellent adsorption capacity for organic contaminants. The black granules provide a large total surface area ranging from 550 to 650 m²/g, allowing effective trapping of impurities. Additionally, the carbon exhibits an ash content of 6%, moisture content around 5%, and maintains a stable pH between 9 and 10. These characteristics ensure chemical stability and consistent performance during filtration.

Applications and Benefits

Activated carbon’s effectiveness extends beyond water treatment; it plays a crucial role in the purification and decolorization of liquids in pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and allied industries. By adsorbing organic compounds, it enhances the quality, safety, and appearance of liquids, meeting strict industry standards. The granular form allows for high flow rates and efficient contact time, improving operational efficiency. Additionally, its eco-friendly and non-toxic nature makes it a safe choice for various applications.

In conclusion, our granular activated carbon offers reliable, high-performance adsorption of organic impurities, improving water and liquid quality across diverse industries. Its durability, large surface area, and chemical stability make it an indispensable filtration medium for industrial and municipal purification needs.
